Question

A small hole in the wing of a space shuttle requires a 20.7-cm² patch.

Answer 1

The Patch's area of the space shuttle in km² is 2.07 × 10⁻⁹ km²

Given, that a space shuttle requires a 20.7 cm² patch

We have to convert the patch's area from cm² into km².

Unit conversion is a method in which we multiply or divide with a particular numerical factor and then finally round off to the nearest significant digits.

Patch area of the space shuttle is 20.7 cm²

1 cm = 0.00001 km

or, 1 cm² = (0.00001 km)²

or,  1 cm² = 10⁻¹⁰km²

20.7 cm² = 20.7 ×  10⁻¹⁰km²

20.7 cm² = 2.07 × 10⁻⁹ km²

The patch area in square kilometers is 2.07 × 10⁻⁹ km²
